A radioimmunoassay has been developed for the measurement in urine of retinol-binding protein (α2-roglobulin) and used as an index of renal tubular function in adult Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetics and to define reference ranges in non-diabetic controls. There was a significantly greater excretion ( P < 0·001) of retinol-binding protein in the diabetic group compared to the controls in both overnight and daytime samples. There was a weak positive correlation with albumin excretion ( r = 0·33; P < 0·01) but no correlation with HbA1, duration of diabetes or arterial blood pressure. The results indicate that retinol-binding protein excretion may be increased in diabetic subjects without increased albumin excretion. The possibility therefore exists that renal tubular damage may occur early in diabetic nephropathy without apparent glomerular dysfunction.

Despite the well known effects of chronic alcohol abuse on the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, nervous and endocrine systems, little information is available on its effect on renal function. To assess renal function we measured urinary excretion of albumin, α1 microglobulin and retinol binding protein in 30 chronic alcoholic patients. Our data shows that 40% of chronic alcoholic patients have impaired renal tubular function.
